One of my favorite Avios redemptions was low-YQ economy transatlantic flights on Aer Lingus, i.e., JFK-DUB. The total tax on the JFK-DUB, one-way, used to be generally $34 (+ 13,000 Avios).
After calling BAEC recently (as Aer Lingus isn’t available to be booked online), they priced this route to be $164.80. Are low-tax Aer Lingus redemptions now a thing of the past? Even flying JFK-LHR on BA metal has lower tax than this in Y.
I don’t think Aer Lingus can be booked via Iberia, so I haven’t tried there.
